IEEE Submission and Peer Review PoliciesIEEE Clarifies Guidelines on the Responsible Use of AI in Scholarly Publishinghttps://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/become-an-ieee-journal-author/publishing-ethics/guidelines-and-policies/submission-and-peer-review-policies/#ai-generated-contentIEEE has reaffirmed its commitment to research integrity and transparency by issuing clear guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the preparation and submission of scholarly manuscripts. These policies ensure that innovation in AI-assisted research and writing is balanced with ethical responsibility and the preservation of trust in the peer-review process.Under IEEE’s submission and peer-review policies, authors are permitted to use AI-generated content—including text, figures, images, and code—provided that such use is explicitly and transparently disclosed. Authors must identify the AI tools used, specify the sections of the manuscript affected, and describe the nature of the AI contribution in the Acknowledgments section. Importantly, AI systems cannot be listed as authors, and full accountability for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of the work remains solely with the human authors.IEEE emphasizes that AI tools may assist researchers, but they do not replace scholarly judgment or ethical responsibility. Authors are expected to carefully review all AI-generated material to ensure correctness, proper attribution, and compliance with publication standards. The undisclosed or misleading use of AI-generated content may be treated as a breach of publishing ethics.In parallel, IEEE maintains strict confidentiality standards in the peer-review process. Reviewers are prohibited from using public AI tools to analyze submitted manuscripts, as doing so could compromise confidential content. Through these policies, IEEE aims to support responsible innovation while safeguarding the credibility, transparency, and integrity of the global scholarly record.Guidelines for Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Generated TextUse by Authors“ The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in an article (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any article submitted to an IEEE publication. The AI system used shall be identified, and specific sections of the article that use AI-generated content shall be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation regarding the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content.The use of AI systems for editing and grammar enhancement is common practice and, as such, is generally outside the intent of the above policy. In this case, disclosure as noted above is not required, but recommended. "

The Franco – Thai Scholarship Program of the Embassy of France in Thailandhttps://www.francothai-science.com/franco-thai-scholarship-programDeadline: February 19, 2026In Partnership withThe Franco – Thai Scholarship Program of the Embassy of France in Thailand aims to support Thai students under aged of 35 years old who intend to study in universities or higher education institutions in France for their Master’s degree or PhD. Open to all fields of study, this program is based on a highly selective call for candidates in order to strengthen high level exchanges between France and Thailand.The Franco-Thai scholarship is granted for the period necessary to obtain the degree: one or two years for a Master’s Degree and three years for a PhD.In case of co-supervision, the scholarship will only be granted for the periods spent in France.If the curriculum requires some course works which will take place outside France, the scholarship will be suspended during that period. The Franco-Thai scholarship program offers two types of scholarships:Full scholarship:The full scholarship benefits include:- A monthly allowance;- A roundtrip ticket;- Social protection;- Advantages as the French government's grant holder.Social Protection Scholarship/Bourse de Couverture Sociale:Social Protection Scholarship or “Bourse de Couverture Sociale” gives access to a specific status, enabling candidates to benefit from social protection in France and other specific advantages (exemption from visa fees, CVEC fees and tuition fees for some public higher education institutions’ program,...). The “Bourse de Couverture Sociale” can only be granted if a cost-sharing agreement insures a monthly allowance to the scholar, since it will not be provided by the Franco-Thai program for this type of scholarship.Cost-sharing:Both Master and PhD Applicants are highly encouraged to look for other sources of funding not only from his/her own local or foreign university but also from private sector. A specific attention will be given to academic applicants who have found other sources of funding for their project.Some doctoral schools ask for a higher monthly income than the monthly allowance granted by this scholarship program. Students applying to those doctoral schools have to check and coordinate with the French laboratory or doctoral school to secure additional funding.Tuition feesPlease note that the Franco-Thai Scholarship Program does not cover tuition fees.For some Master’s taught in French at a public university and for PhD programs, being a scholar of the French Government will entail that the tuition fees will be lifted. It is the candidate’s responsibility to check the amount of the tuition fees for the program he/she is applying to.In order to identify grant recipients, the selection committee will consider: - The candidate’s skills and merit as borne out by his/her academic record and professional background; - The quality of the study plan. Contacts with the Master’s degree or thesis supervisors and progress of the project submitted will also be taken into account; - The strong and firm interest of the candidate in pursuing studies with regards to his/her previous studies and professional project; - The level of proficiency in foreign languages (French or English) and its adequacy with the intended curriculum; - Other sources of funding to support the project; - For PhDs applicants, the selection committee will favor PhDs under joint supervision and commitment of Thai and French supervisors will be decisive.
